As Arturo (John Rhys-Davies) listens to radio broadcasts from the dying world, Quinn (Jerry O’Connell) slides into the military base's lab with an unconscious Maggie (Kari Wuhrer) in his arms -- and the Slider's home coordinates recorded in the timer. The other Sliders show up, excited about the news that they can go home, but Quinn tells them that they must wait until they have finished the sliding device he promised in order to save some of these people.

The Sliders land in a city besieged by looters, as defense sirens wail. They come across a vagrant, who blames the Russians. Apparently, the Cold War has not ended in this dimension. Suddenly, a car races around the corner, flipping and exploding. The Sliders try to rescue the driver, who mumbles something about a trajectory being wrong. As he dies, the Sliders notice blood seeping from a gunshot wound. Arturo (John Rhys-Davies) recognizes the man as Dr. Jariabek, a noted cosmologist.

The Sliders land in a gypsy village, to find several comatose or dead victims. Quinn (Jerry O'Connell) realizes Rickman is acting desperately, and they follow him to a world they've visited before -- the world Maggie's people arrived in to escape the destruction of their world. Upon arrival, they encounter huge, plant-eating dinosaurs. Maggie (Kari Wuhrer) is excited about the dinosaurs, but Rembrandt (Cleavant Derricks) is more excited that he will once again see Malcolm, the boy whose life he saved.
